letters to
the Editor
Editor, Lancaster Farming:
I appreciate your article in
the Feb. 23 Lancaster
Farming on my talk Double
Crop Beans at the Crop and
Soils Day. There is however
a mistake in that article. You
indicate in the second
paragraph that small grain
fields lie idle from the time
the crop is harvested in
June. Also in the third
paragraph, you indicate I
recommend planting before
June 10. In this area, the
small grains are usually not
harvested until the begin
ning of July, so instead of
June in the article, it should
be July. On page 22, the date
when you start losing one
bushel per day delay in
planting is June 20 instead of
June 10.
By no means, am I saying
this was your mistake. I well
could have made the mistake
in my talk. However if we do
not correct these dates,
farmers will think you and I
do not know when small
grain is harvested here in
Lancaster Co.
